The Weekly Photo – March 14, 2011
Last week I posted a telephoto image of a really cool mountain shadow in the clouds over Mount Michener. This week I thought I would show the wide angle version of the same shadow with Abraham Lake and Mount Michener in context. I shot this image with my Canon EOS-1ds Mark III and the Canon 17mm TS-E lens at 1/320s at f11. I shifted the lens slightly up and down to get more sky and foreground than a single frame would allow. Click on the photo to see a bigger version of the photo on my website.

That shadow is extraordinary! I think I like this version, which puts it into context, better. On the other hand, I also like the close up version too…

Fabulous image, Darwin… We noticed that shadow as we were leaving the lake – it’s great that you stayed and captured such an interesting shot – I also like this version best.

Spectacular……. I wish I would of followed the golden rule that day….. Follow Darwin. I will forever regret not stopping to take a photo of that shadow. We where on our way back to the lodge when we spotted it. We debated stopping but I was grumpy because of my fogged lens, broken cable release and frozen tripod. What a one of a kind photo, great job Darwin.

I like how the texture in the foreground snow echoes the shape of the mountain.

Wow, Interesting reflection in the sky. I can see so many triangles, small ones to large ones in this photo.
